• Abstract summary: Vision-Language Tracking aims to localize a target in video sequences using a visual template and language description. Current datasets contain much more image data than text, limiting the ability of VLT methods to align the two modalities effectively. We propose a novel plug-and-play method named CTVLT that leverages the strong text-image alignment capabilities of foundation grounding models.

• Abstract: Vision-Language Tracking (VLT) aims to localize a target in video sequences using a visual template and language description. While textual cues enhance tracking potential, current datasets typically contain much more image data than text, limiting the ability of VLT methods to align the two modalities effectively. To address this imbalance, we propose a novel plug-and-play method named CTVLT that leverages the strong text-image alignment capabilities of foundation grounding models. CTVLT converts textual cues into interpretable visual heatmaps, which are easier for trackers to process. Specifically, we design a textual cue mapping module that transforms textual cues into target distribution heatmaps, visually representing the location described by the text. Additionally, the heatmap guidance module fuses these heatmaps with the search image to guide tracking more effectively. Extensive experiments on mainstream benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, achieving state-of-the-art performance and validating the utility of our method for enhanced VLT.

  Vision-Language(VL) trackers have proposed to utilize additional natural language descriptions to enhance versatility in various applications.

Our method effectively generates high-quality density maps for objects-of-interest.
